Dog Neutering

Dogs' Trust, the international dog welfare charity with Head offices in both Ireland and the UK is now providing subsidised neutering for both male and female dogs in Ireland. Neutering is a simple procedure that has many benefits. Most importantly it prevents unwanted litters of puppies and so reduces the numbers of stray dogs and the numbers of dogs being destroyed in pounds across the country.

Neutering also has many health benefits. It reduces the incidence of mammary cancer in bitches and of testicular cancer in males. Having a bitch spayed will also put an end to packs of dogs following her around when she is in season and it can stop male dogs wandering off looking for romance!

The neutering campaign offers people on means-tested benefits the opportunity to have their dog neutered for just €20.00
